Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy focuses on engaging in and increasing access to the activities that are most meaningful in a person’s daily life.
RISE works with clients across the lifespan - we work with children, teens, young adults, and adults to foster growth and independence in their daily lives using a strengths-based, client-led approach.
We work alongside clients and their families to figure out what is meaningful to the client, why they are having trouble participating in those activities, and how to build skills or make adaptations to the physical and social environment to facilitate better access.

We encourage anyone interested in services to sign up for a free 20 minute consultation with an Occupational Therapist.
This will help us determine the best services for you, as well as give the chance for the team to make sure RISE is a good fit for you and that we can meet your needs.

At RISE, we can offer sessions in a quiet space that allows participants the chance to practice skills with all of our modifications and adaptations readily available. This allows us to problem solve together, trial materials, and determine what would best suit the participant.
We also offer services within the RISE Center, utilizing our sensory room, fully functioning kitchen, our garden, and with other young adults.

It depends! For some clients, they prefer individual sessions without caregiver support, and this allows for greater independence.
For others, caregiver support is beneficial so a coaching model can be used to best support the client and their team.
This is something we can discuss in our free consultation before we begin services, and can change throughout our journey together as a team with RISE.
